Quick Answer
The official player reward codes tracked here are survivor, BUILDER, and THANKYOU. The developer announced them in Steam Community launch-window posts. Expiry was not stated in the reviewed official notes, so treat them as active but time-sensitive.
| Code | Source boundary | Source date | Reward note | Status | Last checked | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
survivor | Official Steam launch-window vehicle post | 2026-09-01 | Unlock/access path for the added launch vehicle; the developer says you still need to follow the quest. | Officially announced | 2026-09-05 | Unknown; no official expiry stated. |
BUILDER | Official Steam "30 Minutes Until Release" post | 2026-09-01 | Launch gift reward; exact reward contents should be verified in game. | Officially announced | 2026-09-05 | Unknown; no official expiry stated. |
THANKYOU | Official Steam "New Redeem Code: THANKYOU" post | 2026-09-02 | Thank-you gift reward; exact reward contents should be verified in game. | Officially announced | 2026-09-05 | Unknown; no official expiry stated. |
How To Redeem
- Update Not Quite Dead on Steam before opening the game.
- Open the in-game redeem-code flow when available.
- Enter the code exactly as shown. Try
survivor,BUILDER, orTHANKYOUwithout extra spaces. - If the
survivorvehicle does not appear immediately, continue the related quest path before assuming the code failed. - Recheck the newest Steam announcement if the game says the code is invalid or expired.
What Not To List
Do not list hidden debug commands, console strings, datamined values, or bug-recovery tools as normal reward codes. This page only lists official player-facing reward codes or reward codes confirmed in the live game.
The developer also published a debug-mode redeem code for players who are stuck or need recovery tools. Keep that separate from this reward-code table because it is not a normal player reward, can affect bug recovery behavior, and should not be mixed into "free rewards" lists.
If A Code Does Not Work
- Confirm that the game has finished updating and restart Steam before trying again.
- Enter the code with the shown capitalization and no spaces before or after it.
- Check whether the redeem interface reports an invalid, expired, or already-used code; those are different outcomes.
- For
survivor, continue the related vehicle quest after a successful redemption, because the official note says the vehicle still depends on that quest path. - Recheck the newest developer-owned Steam announcement before trusting a copied community list.
If the code is accepted but the vehicle does not appear, record the message shown by the redeem interface, the current game version, and the related quest state. That evidence distinguishes a redemption problem from an unfinished quest or a post-launch behavior change.
Redeem Code FAQ
Is survivor officially announced? Yes. The developer included it in the launch-window Steam update connected to the added vehicle.
Are BUILDER and THANKYOU official? Yes. Both appeared in official Steam Community launch-window posts, but the public notes do not give stable itemized reward tables.
Does the code skip the vehicle quest? No. The official wording says players still need to follow the quest, so redemption should not be described as an instant vehicle grant.
When does it expire? No official expiry was stated in the reviewed announcement. Use it promptly and treat any later expiry report as unverified until the game or developer confirms it.
Are there more working reward codes? No additional normal reward code is verified here as of the review date. Debug-mode access belongs in troubleshooting context, not this reward table.
Source Notes
Checked on 2026-09-05 against official Steam Community launch-window announcements and SteamDB-visible patch-note mirrors. survivor, BUILDER, and THANKYOU are treated as official reward codes; debug-mode access is intentionally excluded from the normal reward-code table.
